I love variety and I could never point to one game being my favorite. What about you guys? :3
Yup, Super Metroid. Game is basically perfect. i have other near favorites like Hollow Knight and Dead Cells that have generally remained in place too, but Super Metroid is amazing and always a fun, perfectly atmospheric time.
I used to say it was a toss up between A Link to the Past, Secret of Mana, and Super Metroid, because they’re all 10/10 games. I just haven’t been able to do the latter two lately. They’re not hard, I just don’t stick with them.
If you also play A Link to the Past, you should know there is a Randomiser that combines them. You start in Super Metroid. Going into a map room takes you to a random fortune teller and vice versa. The way both games are coded, none of their items share an ID, so you can find Metroid items in Zelda and Zelda items in Metroid. And it just works. Of course Link can’t use power bombs and Samus can’t use the Hookshot. The items are game specific. The goal is to beat Ganon and then Mother Brain and escape. I really can’t do that one.
I played a bunch of 2D Metroid this year for the first time. Super Metroid definitely stood out as the best of the bunch, although I did miss some of the quality of life features from Zero Mission.
Every game I play is like “this is good, but it’s no Outer Wilds…”
Yup, this one.
If I can play a game where I both have sweaty palms desperately trying to match the needed fast paced escape velocity for a solar station landing, but also have quiet moments where I put down the controller and think about my life while waiting patiently for an end I know is coming… Then that is the best game.Just finished Outer Wilds yesterday and it definitely shot up to my top 10. Nothing could beat Portal so far though…
I think with Outer Wilds and Obra Dinn I realized that “Information games” are just my absolute favourite genre of games. Portal is incredible, but more a regular puzzle game than an information game.
Factorio. 10k hours and I still play it over and over again when I get cravings or when there’s. No other games to play.
2nd is Minecraft and 3rd is rimworld
Of course all of them HEAVILY modded.
Now this is my taste to a tee
What’s your favorite mods for them?
Slap on an allthemods for Minecraft any day. Ive told myself I need to beat factorio and rimworld first before I do a modded playthrough (rimworld I did, but still chugging through space age). Otherwise I’ve really enjoyed the multi-player rimworld mod
If you need any help with any of it message me, besides rimworld I know some stuff but I been having problems with nodding it on my Linux install for some reason. I played a shit tons of different mod packs on Minecraft. Allthemods is the best all around mod pack although easy for me. Expert packs are fun though.
Original Borderlands on xbox360. Ain’t no way I’ll find anything I could spend as much time as I have in that game and still love it. Been playing on and off for over a decade, with DLCs included. And this is from me having come from the second game. Just happen to like the atmosphere and storytelling of the original better, for the most part.
Favorite character is specifically Mordecai since I think he has the best ability. Favorite weapon is between one of the fire and corrosive infinite ammo recharge alien weapons.
Dragon Age Origins. A lot of game came close to it afterwards in my heart but couldn’t beat it. (Like The Witcher 3, The Legend of Zelda Breath of The Wilds and Mass Effect 2)
I genuinely enjoyed every Dragon Age game in its own right (yes, even Veilguard), but agree that DA:O has some kind of special sauce that just couldn’t be recreated afterwards.
American McGee’s Alice.
I love the atmosphere, the game play, and the soundtrack. It is awesome 🤘
I loved that one when I was in high school! I was really impressed by the level design, and I do remember liking the soundtrack a lot. I haven’t heard it in forever but I’m sure I would recognize it.
I’ve wondered for forever, was there a way to make the secondary fire for the Jabberwock’s Eyestaff actually helpful? The meteors would pretty consistently injure me more than the enemies.
I remember thinking the jacks were the most useful weapon by a longshot.
Deus Ex, Cyberpunk 2077, Surviving Mars, Stellaris and SWTOR.
All of them are my favourite game of all time.
Difficult to choose a single one. But a game that has been my stable side game for ages, that I constantly keep in circulation and that no other game has come close to replicating the feel of for me has been Enter the Gungeon.
Can’t pick one but my top are: Fallout New Vegas, Destroy All Humans 2, Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal, Kingdom Hearts 2, Halo ODST, BG3, and Saints Row 4.
Edit: can’t believe I forgot Okami, Infamous Second Son, and Simpsons Hit and Run.
Seeing Saints Row 4 here is interesting. I liked the game, but SR3 will always be my favorite. :D
I just like the ability to fuck around, especially with super powers lol
Hard to choose from these three: Planescape Torment. Disco Elysium. World of Warcraft Vanilla.
and maybe MGS4 on PS3 was good. :)
Ive been telling people that Disco Elysium is “basically planescape torment but without the party and combat”
Portal 2.
Sanctum 2. Though I do wish for a graphics update.
Zelda 3: A Link to the Past for classics and Cyberpunk 2077 for modern. Though Deus Ex is also a classic now.
It used to be Counter-Strike but now I think it’s Deadlock.
The game is still in closed beta but valve really nailed everything about it. The movement, the combat, the strategy, the art style. I wish I had young kid’s reflexes still but even so the game is absolutely brilliant.
Point of clarity for anyone interested: the game is in an invite-only beta. BUT the unofficial discord has people who can invite you. So feel free to come check it out. It’s great :)
You can also go to steam page -> dicussions and there are hundreds of invite threads in the forum. Just add friends any of the people there and they’ll give you an invite. The etiquette is to givr a small item (cs, tf2 etc.) in exchange for it so don’t be surprised if they ask you for a donation. Either way it’s worth it!
That game absolutely took over my life in terms of games. I liked it from the first minute, because of the art style, movement and all, but i didn’t really get it. I started to get it, and when i really got it, i was like holy shit. The game is so deep, just in terms of movement and tech in the game.
Final Fantasy 9. I was seven years old and had never experienced anything comparable. 100% a nostalgia driven choice but I still remember those thoughts and feelings.
